As recently posted on the HDYGO thread I've recently doing a bit of lure fishing.
As part of this I have been replacing my treble hooks on lures with inline single hooks.
Anyway as part of the process I turned to this lure and thought at first that the plastic vane at the front had been melted somehow. See below.
But it has been stored alone in a compartmentalised box in the dark since I returned from Chennai in December 2019.
However the weirdest thing about it is that the plastic in the affected area is completely soft and pliable with the consistency of putty.
Any thoughts on what this could be? It's got me baffled.
What are your own tackle box mysteries?
